Outfit Decoration
-
A summer wedding does not necessarily mean a white dress; consider a gold gown instead and decorate it with accents of black, such as black embroidery or black jewelry, to fit in with your black, gold and white theme. The groom and groomsmen can wear black suits with a white or gold flower and a white tie. Or for something completely different, they can wear white suits with a black tie and a black flower.
Table Decorations
-
Decorate your tables with a black satin tablecloth, or a black tablecloth with a gold tablecloth layered on top. Cover your chairs in the same fabric, and tie a gold or white ribbon around them. For added color on a pure black tablecloth, sprinkle white petals on the table. Your centerpieces can bring out the other colors; consider summery yellow and white flowers in black vases, gold candles, a gold bowl with black floating candles, or even a vase filled with white pearls.

Wedding Cake Decoration
-
For a simple modern wedding cake, tie black ribbons around a white layered cake. For added glamor, sprinkle gold confetti over the top of the cake or add a gold bride and groom to the top. For something a bit different and more in keeping with summer, have cupcakes in black, gold and white on a stand instead of a wedding cake. Or you could use a black cake and white flowers between each layer to create a stunning contrast of colors.
Venue Decoration
-
To decorate your venue, add gold Christmas lights to create a magical atmosphere, or use alternating black and gold paper lanterns. Tie black or gold ribbons around your venue to add into your black, gold and white theme. You can easily make a tissue paper pomanders in your chosen colors and hang them around your venue with gold balloons. An outdoor venue is possible during the summer months; use flowers and tie ribbons to trees to incorporate the black, white and gold theme.
Favors
-
For black, gold and white-themed favors, offer a combination of white-, dark- and gold-wrapped chocolates to guests. Black or gold organza bags filled with white sugared almonds can offer an elegant favor to your guests. Personalized chocolate bars are available, with white, black and gold wrapping; add the date of your wedding for guests to take home. But beware chocolates might melt in summer and should be kept cold until they are handed out.
